In the final analysis, this is a matter of plans not being able to change as quickly as the plan. Lieutenant General Miyazaki, the Chief of Staff of the Sixth Front Army, who was originally angry, wanted to report to the headquarters and base camp of the dispatched army, demanding that the combat discipline of the Eleventh Army be rectified and that Isumi Yokoyama be dealt with.
This group of staff.
But the problem is that the Front Army Headquarters and the subordinate Army Headquarters are at odds with each other, and the base camp may not support the requirements of the Front Army Headquarters. After all, the Eleventh Army is the face of the Japanese army, especially the Army.
But it’s a taboo.
The questions from the Eleventh Army Headquarters also made the staff of the Front Army Headquarters think about it. The current situation faced by the Eleventh Army has indeed changed. The mountain city government troops in Guizhou and Liuzhou were inexplicably removed.
Part of it is much less than when we first made the plan.
Furthermore, the 23rd Army is facing the interception of the Fourth Theater. This is an important moment in the operation. The Radio Army has been unable to communicate. We don’t know the specific situation. If we cannot join forces with the 11th Army, what will happen to the Front Army Headquarters?
The plan becomes a piece of paper.
Therefore, although Okamura Neiji showed the majesty of the commander of the front army and strictly ordered the Eleventh Army Headquarters to cancel the latest combat plan, he still did not have the confidence to break up with Yokoyama Isamu.
If he dared to interfere forcefully with the Eleventh Army's combat operations and let go of the main force of the Shancheng government army, he would also have to bear the responsibility of being held accountable by the base camp for losing the fighter plane. Therefore, he suppressed his anger and stopped questioning.
"With General Okamura Neiji's qualifications and character, Yokoyama Isamu offended him to death this time, and Marshal Hata Shunroku was also extremely dissatisfied with him. Such a guy, who specializes in going against his superiors, can still survive until now without being transferred.
It’s a miracle to join the reserve force,” said Nagatsu Sahishige.
"General Okamura wants to lose his temper, but Yokoyama Isamu has a bigger temper than him. Have you noticed that this is a very cunning guy. Every time he confronts his boss, he always takes the right side, and the result is also against him.
Very beneficial.”
"But our imperial army pays most attention to seniority and obedience. If he continues to develop like this, he will probably be transferred back to the country. As far as I know, in order to carry out the decisive battle on the mainland, the base camp needs to transfer some generals back to the country. Those temporarily formed divisions,
There is no formal training at all, and we cannot rely solely on courage and struggle to fight." Matsui Tataro said.
"General, do you have any good news about our Chairman Wang?" Chen Mingxiang asked.
"I'm sorry, instead of giving you good news, I have bad news. The imperial government has sent a message to the dispatched army headquarters and asked us to be prepared. Chairman Wang's condition may not be able to survive. Of course, this should be helpful to you.
It doesn’t have much impact, the next candidate is Chen Gongbo, your relationship with him is so deep, there is no need to worry about anything." Matsui Tataro said.
The time is pushed to November 7th. The divisions of the Japanese Eleventh Army are making good progress. They have basically occupied the commanding heights around Guizhou City and are preparing to launch an attack tomorrow. However, it rains heavily on the 8th.
The attack caused difficulties, so Isamu Yokoyama decided to postpone the date by one day and wait until the early morning of the 9th to launch the general attack.
At this time, the situation in Guizhou City was already very pessimistic. The highest commander of the defense was the deputy commander-in-chief of the 16th Group Army. The main defending force was the 131st Infantry Division of the 31st Army. His subordinates
There are 391st Regiment, 392nd Regiment and 393rd Regiment, which defend the northern half of the city and the northern area of the city.
The 170th Infantry Division of the 46th Army, under the 508th Regiment and the 510th Regiment, defends the southern half of the city and its southern suburbs. This infantry division is missing one regiment, and the 509th Infantry Regiment has been transferred to Liuzhou to defend Liuzhou.
Airport.
This is an important military location, so why are there only two divisions and one regiment of troops to defend it? And they are all troops from the Guangxi faction?
The reason for such a change is naturally that the young General Zhuge Bai wanted to preserve his strength. The old man's direct troops were unable to work and slipped away to Liuzhou. He was also afraid that the Guangxi troops would be damaged in this battle and there would be no more in the future.
The strength is against the mountain city government.
He claimed that he wanted to conduct offensive operations, and temporarily assigned the 188th Infantry Division of the 31st Army, whose commander was his nephew, and the 175th Infantry Division of the 46th Army, whose commander was the nephew of the commander of the 16th Group Army, to temporary
Transferred away.
The people of Guizhou City now deeply hate the mountain city government troops. When the 79th Army and the 93rd Army retreated, due to lack of military discipline, some officers and soldiers actually robbed property on their own territory, destroying a beautiful city.
The place is in mess.
"Dean, are you going to Japan? Is there any news from Chairman Wang?"
Some things are really scary to say. On November 8th, Chen Mingxiang received a call from Chen Gongbo. He was planning to go to Japan.
"Japanese Ambassador Shigemitsu Aoi informed me that Chairman Wang is about to die and wants me to see him for the last time. I have discussed it with Fa Hai and plan to go to Nagoya on the 13th. It is estimated that I will stay for a few days. Can you give me
I'm keeping an eye on the news in Shanghai and Jinling."
"When I leave, you come to Jinling to stay for a few days. I don't trust anyone else except you. In addition, you and Fao Hai should talk more and arrange Mr. Wang's funeral. Make sure he is buried in glory.
." Chen Gongbo said.
After making this call, Chen Mingxiang immediately asked Wang Zhen to send a text message to the bureau headquarters. The content was also very simple, that is, to tell Boss Dai and the old man that Wang Jingwei's death was not far away.
In the early morning of November 9, the Japanese Eleventh Army launched a strong attack on Guizhou City. On the 10th, the Japanese 58th Division, 40th Division and 37th Division attacked Guizhou City.
.
The chief of staff of the City Defense Headquarters, the chief of staff of the 31st Army, the deputy commander of the 170th Infantry Division, the commander of the 392nd Regiment and other generals all died in this defense operation. And the 170th Infantry Division's
Some troops retreated on their own, but were captured and captured by the Japanese army.
Witnessing these scenes, the commander of the 131st Infantry Division was furious at the other troops in the Fourth Theater Zone who only cared about preserving their own strength and refused to save Guizhou City, and the defending troops who retreated without authorization but were captured by the enemy.
At the same time, I was also disheartened.
He decided to live and die with the Guizhou City he defended, and to die with the troops who shared the same hardships. He shot himself at the last moment and died heroically for his country.
On the same day, Liuzhou, which was heavily guarded by troops, was jointly attacked by the Japanese Third Division and Thirteenth Division. With the strength of five divisions and the cooperation of the 188th Infantry Division, the six divisions could not withstand the Japanese army.
Attack, the commander evacuated by train.
And at 4:20 pm on November 10, the 33rd year of the Republic of China, the sixty-one-year-old Wang Jingwei, the biggest traitor in China, could not wait for Chen Gongbo, who was about to rush to Japan, at the Imperial University Affiliated Hospital in Nagoya, Japan.
